I just don't see any reason to have stuff that's not even TANGENTIALLY related being integrated into the line, just because it all appeared on television at relatively the same time, and explored similar themes.

as I said, it makes about as much sense as a Geordi LaForge action figure in a Doctor Who line.

Were they both done by Filmation?, YES. Were they both about Barbarians with magic Swords?, YES. but the similarities end there.

a statue does not a connection make, it was used as a nod to the other show, but does not establish any kind of tangible connection

if you want a Blackstar Toy, ask the people who own/hold the rights for one.

This is MOTU, it has it's own characters, we don't need to be adding stuff from outside the property to make it great or interesting, it's great and interesting all by itself.

All I'm saying they incorporated Matt Trakker in G.I. Joe . And it would be cool. If they did the same with Blackstar and MOTU.

Thats all.

The funny thing is that the likelihood of the Blackstar project is very slim.

What surprises me is that I thought that people here were also 4horsemen fans... I have faith in a 4horseman sculpted product. I think they could make an awesome Blackstar or anything for that matter. If the Horsemen sculpt it I am pretty sure ts gonna be awesome enough for most people to buy.

But then again the line did die at some point....oh well I like to think that I did my part to keep the line alive by buying the things that most fans here didn't like.

Well, since Blackstar did appear as a statue in MOTU cartoon, it can be said the character had a "cameo" in MOTU. No need to argue about that, as its fact. Of course, it doesn't mean that the statue had to be him, but they did use his image for the statue.

Blackstar
Blackstar in He-Man cartoon...

As for how I "felt" as a kid about it.. well, kids are allowed to have imaginations And when "exact" images from one cartoon pop up in another, its hard not to connect those properties when you have seen them as a 10 year old child with your own eyes.

I love MOTU, and I too don't really see a need to introduce characters from outside of the property to it. But it has been done before. Just look at the first mainstream He-Man comic... it had him fighting SUPERMAN!

If only blackstar could have been concieved a few years later when the Cosby/Michael Jackson rage was in full swing. The execs might have taken a chance on a "Black" Blackstar.

We probably won't get this figure and he would be way back on most of our want lists even if he were a real possiblity. I'd rather see another tpy company pick up the line and serve up a reboot - Thundercats is also over due for some new figures.

I would think Blackstar would be an incredibly easy custom out of a standard He-Man. Boots and "furries" are good to go. sand down the studs on his right bracelet and belt. Left arm and belt would need a touch of work. Neck piece and sword would have to be made from scratch. Paint hair black, eyes brown.

Id like one even though it has almost no chance of happening. Id love to have a Blackstar , the villian & that girl. I think trying to find who holds the rights would be a nightmare in its self. I think BCI Guy is right.
